Mt. Aso seems to be more rally or hill climb orientated. It seems that way to me anyway.
I put my vote in for Eifel. With some luck with the contour lines, some pretty amazing tracks can be made.
If could vote a second time i'd also make a vote on Alaska. This theme is good and, again, with some luck with the contour lines a great rally track could be made. I once had a course with a hill just after the start/finish straight which could be jumped and fell away down the hill into a right hander. That made me fall in love with this theme.

I like Mt. Aso so far because of the challenging courses it can make.

Mt Aso has too much elevation change to get a reasonable track. I think Eifel has too much elevation also, but with alot of effort you can get a good track out of it. I would love Tuscana if you could select mid-day...

Eifel's off track pieces (close, high guardrail always in a tight turn where you need visability) and kerb placement (kerbs in the middle of long sweepers, but not in hairpins) are terrible. The pit straight for some reason gets really wide and looks the same on every track you make. Also the elevation can be on the Mt. Aso side.
Mt. Aso is just terrible. Ridiculous undulating pit straights, constant blind corners, jumps, steep grades. Maybe good for goofing around but terrible for actual racing.
Toscana has day and night, visibility in corners, no pop in on scenery pieces/mountains, and gradual terrain. I can't think of any cons about it so it gets my vote.

I haven't made any off road tracks yet, but Eifel and Tocsana are the best so far, Mt Aso is capable of making great tracks but you have to spend much longer randomising the layout to get one that fits the maps contours better.

I love the Mt. Aso theme for its elavation changes, and short layouts. The tracks I've made with the Eifle theme just seemed like endless straightaways. I like Mt. Aso because I can quickly get a handle on each new layout, where other themes all seem so similar that I cant tell the difference between them.
But it looks like everyone has their own preferances, some hate Mt. aso for its elavation changes, which is why I love it.

I've watched that video a few times trying to understand why its the "greatest", and i'm not saying that its no good or anything, its just that theme just isnt my cup of tea. I'm just more interested in short technical tracks.
It's like the difference between Suzuka and Monza.
With that said I bet if I could actually drive that track I'd enjoy it.

Did I miss something? I'm lacking the Mt Aso and the Liege themes. Were they delivered with one of the updates? Cause I don't have internet at my playstation at the moment. Hope it will be fixed soon.
If it's not part of any update I feel quite screwed...so please tell me.

I tend to alternate between Eifel and Toscana. I don't like the totally flat and super-tiny stuff I get at Tokyo, Alaska is bland to look at and bland to race around, I don't enjoy racing on gravel so much in GT5 so Liege is out, and Mt. Aso is too hilly. I enjoy the natural flow I get with Eifel and Toscana.

I voted Eifel, as it's the most realistic we can get to any real-life track/scenery. I think the poll is a fair reflection with Eifel, Mt. Aso and Toscana being the only themes that are used by everyone.
I'm not a fan of the rally themes though, there's a blandness about them (in my opinion). That said, I would love to see two or three more themes in the far future.

Eifel, because it makes race tracks as opposed to roads.
I still wish we had the option of choosing road surface between the themes.
A normal road at Eifel for instance, or gravel.

I voted Eifel Kart because it's retains a good width (although not adjustable) for racing events, the elevation is drastically reduced to represent a racing circuit better and, if you are careful, you can stretch a Kart track out to 3 - 4 miles.
